Jesus taught us by example how to serve others. He always found ways to help everyone, especially those that might be overlooked by others.
 
How can you serve others?  How can you be extra focused on those who need your help most?

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the Corinne 2nd ward talking about ways they can serve others. 


For the Little Ones:  Because our Savior can’t be here in person, we can help serve others for Him. Jesus said love everyone. He taught that it’s important to take care of everyone. Even those who might seem less important.

April 2021- Jesus Included Others


This month, let's focus on how you can include others as Jesus did.

To get started, read this article in the Friend, Jesus Included Others

How can you include others?  Have you ever noticed someone alone and maybe a bit too shy to ask to play with you?  You can ask them to join you. Some kids talk different, or need extra effort to feel included.  Jesus included all people and especially made sure that children received his love and attention.  Make it a goal to look for those who need to be included and find ways to involve them in what you are doing. 

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the 15th ward talking about ways they can include others. 


For the Little Ones:  Like Jesus we can include others! If you see someone who might look sad or lonely think of what you could do to include or help them. We can be like Jesus everyday!
Jesus said “Suffer the little children to come unto me.”

How can you help comfort others?  One way to think of ideas is to simply think about how you like to be comforted. These same ways will probably also comfort someone else. Can you think of someone you know who might need some extra comfort? Don't forget that everyone can benefit from being comforted.  Read the plan shared in the article to help you prepare to comfort others.

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the 3rd ward talking about ways they can comfort others. 


For the Little Ones: When Jesus’s friend Lazarus died, Jesus comforted Mary and Martha.
How can you help someone feel comfort when they are sad?
Because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can’t be here in person we can serve and help comfort others for them.
Do you know someone right now that might be sad or lonely? Here are two coloring pages you can color and send to that special person!  (Click image for link to full size download.)

February 2021 - Jesus Shared the Gospel

 


This month, let's focus on how you can be like Jesus by sharing the gospel.  

To get started, read this article in the Friend, Jesus Shared the Gospel.

Have you ever shared a snack or a treat with a friend?  Did you talk about how good it tasted? How did sharing with your friend make you feel?  When you eat, you are feeding your physical body.

Did you know that when you read your scriptures, pray or think about Jesus you are feeding your spirit?  Some of your friends might not know about Jesus and what he taught. They might not know how to feed their spirit.  Just like you might share a snack with a friend, you can also share what you know about Jesus. When you tell your friends what you know about Jesus, you are helping to share the gospel just like Jesus did.

Watch this video of your Primary friends from the Corinne 1st ward talking about ways they can share the gospel.



You can use the checklist in this article to make a plan for sharing the gospel with someone.


For the Little Ones: Jesus shared the Gospel by teaching the little children. 

Here’s a coloring missionary tag that you can color and wear to remind us all that little children can be missionaries and share the Gospel too.



Jesus share the gospel by inviting the children to come unto him.

Children can remind us of the Christlike attributes required to enter the kingdom of God.

Mark 10: 13-16

You can make a difference!  

Pray and ask Heavenly Father what it is He needs YOU to do.  Then, listen as the Holy Ghost speaks to you.  You might notice a need you hadn't seen before or a specific person might be on your mind.  Maybe you will be led to share a story or experience with someone.  Just pay attention as the "still, small voice" whispers what it is that you can do to be like Jesus by helping others.

Watch this video of your Primary friends sharing ways they can help.
